Former LA Lakers basketball star, Magic Johnson is launching ASPIRE, a new African American themed tv network. Launching in June 2012, ASPIRE will feature positive images and shows highlighting the African-American community.

Let's just hope MTV's Real World, Jersey Shore, and BET's College Hill shenanigans don't air on these networks.
